The elder's voice was as resonant as a bell, echoing through the grand hall.
The other white-haired elders were all in deep thought.
A white-haired elder with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his hair nearly reaching his waist, pondered for a moment before speaking, "The rise of the demonic path is harmful, especially with the Heavenly Demon Sect at its head. I believe it must be eradicated!"
"Sword-Brow Elder speaks wisely!"
A rugged elder stood up, dressed in coarse clothes with a large blade at his waist, "If the Heavenly Demon Sect is not removed, the Tianling Domain will eventually be engulfed in blood and chaos!"
"So, according to Sword-Brow Elder and Frenzied Blade Elder, what do the rest of you think?"
The white-haired elder in black robes squinted, looking at the surrounding elders.
"Hmph, to destroy the demonic path, we must first eliminate the Heavenly Demon Sect!" Frenzied Blade Elder snorted coldly.
"Oh?"
The white-haired elder in black robes squinted at Sword-Brow Elder, "What do you think, Sword-Brow Elder?"
Sword-Brow Elder slightly raised his head, "I agree, the Heavenly Demon Sect must be eliminated."
"And the rest of you?"
"The Heavenly Demon Sect must be eradicated!"
"I agree as well. To destroy the demonic path, we must first eliminate its leader, the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
"......"
Hearing this, the white-haired elder in black robes nodded, "While you were in seclusion, I have already collaborated with the Void God Palace. In half a year, we will launch a crusade against the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
"The Void God Palace?"
"Could it be the Void God Palace from the Tianqiong Domain? Their palace master is a genuine Divine Emperor Realm expert!"
The elders couldn't help but be a bit surprised.
Sword-Brow Elder frowned slightly, "Alliance Leader, isn't there a clear rule among the domains not to interfere across borders?"
"So what?"
The white-haired elder in black robes smiled calmly, with a righteous demeanor.
"For the sake of the world, crossing borders to eliminate a demon is not excessive, is it? This world should be grateful to us!"
Hearing this, the group of elders nodded in agreement, believing his words made sense. Their actions were for the sake of the world, for the sake of all living beings!
"You may not know, but today, the Heavenly Demon Sect is quite lively." The white-haired elder in black robes smiled.
"Oh?"
The elders were taken aback, showing a bit of interest.
"Today is Luo Wuqing's wedding day!" The white-haired elder in black robes said calmly, squinting his eyes.
"What!"
"Luo Wuqing's... wedding day?!"
The elders of the Righteous Alliance exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
It was well known in the Tianling Domain that Empress Luo Wuqing of the Heavenly Demon Sect was not interested in men.
Yet, they were now hearing about her wedding!
How could they not be shocked?
Sword-Brow Elder swallowed, suppressing his inner shock. He looked at the white-haired elder in black robes and asked, "Is the person marrying the Empress a prince from a great nation?"
"No, do you think a prince from a great nation is worthy?" The white-haired elder in black robes retorted.
"......" Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
Sword-Brow Elder fell silent. A prince from a great nation was indeed unworthy!
"Then... is it a Holy Son from a sacred land?"
"No."
"A Divine Son from a divine palace?"
"No."
"A Heaven's Mandate Saint?"
"Also no."
"An Ancient Divine Physique?"
"No."
"......"
At this point, Sword-Brow Elder and the surrounding elders were completely silent. Who exactly was the Empress marrying?
Sword-Brow Elder gritted his teeth and asked again, "Could it be a reincarnated deity?"
This was the last possibility he could think of!
If not, Sword-Brow Elder dared not imagine further, for it might be one of the most supreme beings on the Tianxuan Continent!
"No, not that either."
The white-haired elder in black robes smiled.
"Not... not that either?!"
The elders widened their eyes. Who on earth was marrying the Empress?
Could it be someone beyond the Emperor Realm, reaching the level of a GOD?
Hiss...!
But if that were the case, how could their crusade in half a year succeed? Why was the Alliance Leader still smiling so happily?
Finally, under the puzzled gazes of the elders, the white-haired elder in black robes slowly said, "It's a disciple from within the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"A... a disciple from within the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
The elders had strange expressions. They hadn't heard of any recent prodigies with astounding talent emerging from the Heavenly Demon Sect!
"His name is Ning Tian, a menial disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who has been stuck at the first level of Martial Practitioner for three years."
"Three years stuck at the first level of Martial Practitioner?"
"Isn't that just a waste?"
Sword-Brow Elder and the others were shocked, a storm raging in their hearts!
Marrying a waste? This was the Empress's choice?
When did the Empress fall to such a state?
Marrying a mere waste, wasn't this degrading herself?
At this moment, the elders suddenly understood!
No wonder the Alliance Leader was so pleased. The Empress marrying a waste was likely due to a lapse in judgment!
As the elders sighed repeatedly, the jade stone at the waist of the white-haired elder in black robes flickered with a faint light.
It was a spiritual artifact, a communication jade stone. This story is hosted at g.com.
He took off the jade stone and placed it in his palm. A rugged man appeared in a light screen, the Leader of the Frenzied Beast Sect!
"Frenzied Beast, how did the task I entrusted to you go?" he asked calmly.
The Frenzied Beast Sect Leader nodded, but his expression was somewhat bitter, "Alliance Leader, the task is done. Lin Xiaoyao indeed acted impulsively, but..."
"But?"
The white-haired elder in black robes frowned, seemingly displeased.
The Frenzied Beast Sect Leader gritted his teeth. Despite his fear, he had to speak up, as this matter was no small issue!
"Alliance Leader, Ning Tian is not a waste!!"
"With a single palm strike, he defeated Lin Xiaoyao, who was regarded as a genius in the Eastern Prosperity Kingdom!"
"In one day, he even mastered the extremely difficult Heavenly Demon Sect technique, the Heavenly Demon Palm!"
"Moreover, with a single word, he shattered the Dao hearts of dozens of Holy Sons and Divine Sons present, causing many to faint in anger and leave!"
The Frenzied Beast Sect Leader's expression was very peculiar, even he hadn't expected this!
"......"
"......"
His words fell. However, the grand hall fell into a dead silence!
A single palm strike defeated Lin Xiaoyao!
In one day, he mastered the Heavenly Demon Palm!
With a single word, he shattered the Dao hearts of Holy Sons and Divine Sons!
The first two were already terrifying, but what shocked them was shattering the Dao hearts with a single word!
What is a Dao heart?
It maintains a practitioner's true self during cultivation!
The Dao hearts of those Holy Sons and Divine Sons had been reinforced by countless powerful figures and should have been unbreakable.
But!
At this moment, they were shattered with a single word!
At this moment, the white-haired elder in black robes felt as if he had been slapped hard, his face burning with pain!
He had just called Ning Tian a waste!
But now, it was a heavy slap to his face!
"Damn it!"
His teeth ground together, eyes blazing with anger, "Investigate! We must find out everything about this Ning Tian!"
"Yes..."
The image from the communication jade stone faded.
The white-haired elder in black robes couldn't calm down, and the other elders dared not say a word.
They had thought the Empress was foolish.
But who would have thought, the foolish ones were actually them!
******
At this time, the wedding ceremony naturally concluded.
Ning Tian was unaware that he was already being watched. Right now, he was busy with his wedding night with Luo Wuqing!
